“Sigh… But still, I’ve really become Lady Sara Salah… I’ve been reincarnated into the world of [Swords, Magic, and Romance Maidens ~Shining Academy, Love Hegemony!~]”
It was after dinner, and right after her bath, in other words, before going to sleep.
As Lady Sara Salah returned to her bedroom and sank into her bed, she murmured softly.
She was speaking to herself.
Originally, it would have been an unconscious voice that no one else would pick up on.
… However, my enhanced super hearing allows me to hear it clearly.
Oh, I’m currently waiting in a corner of the room as part of Lady Sara’s escort.
This job will continue until Baron Salah and the lady of the house come to sleep in this room.
I guess there probably won’t be any more incidents now.
Still, even if I were to tell Baron Salah, ‘All the incidents so far were orchestrated by the gods! The gods have already achieved their purpose, so no more incidents will happen!’ He’d probably just end it with, ‘What are you talking about?’
And if I were to convey that, I’d also have to explain, ‘Right now, the soul of the reincarnated person is actually moving Lady Sara Salah’s body.’
There’s no way I can explain that.
I couldn’t possibly tell them that the daughter they’ve just got back has become someone else, a complete stranger.
If they were to learn the truth, it would be really painful.
It was painful for me, and surely it would be even more painful for them.
So, I won’t say it.
Whether it is better to tell them, or not, I don’t know.
But, I will not say it.
…………………….
Then.
Regarding Lady Sara Salah’s earlier words.
A mouthful title of [Swords, Magic, and Romance Maidens ~Shining Academy, Love Hegemony!~]
She occasionally muttered things related to that title.
From the information I collected, it seemed she believed that she has been reincarnated into the world of that ‘Otome Game.’
«It’s what’s known as ‘Reincarnation into an Otome Game.’ It’s a major genre in the world of Isekai Reincarnation Broadcasts.»
However, here’s a question.
She believes that this world is the world of a game.
But isn’t that incorrect?
This world isn’t a game.
While there are aspects that are considerably different from Earth, it’s unquestionably a reality.
So, what does this mean?
«Then, I will explain… It might be a bit complicated, but please bear with me.»
And then, Omake-sama began to speak.
◇ ◇ ◇
«To begin with, the concept of ‘Reincarnation into an Otome Game’ as a theme for Isekai Reincarnation Broadcasts was first introduced by a different world’s god. Not this world, Ardist’s.»
Oh, so Isekai Reincarnation Broadcasts aren’t just a trend among the gods of this world?
«And the interesting thing is, the other world where this Isekai takes place happened to be nearly identical to the world depicted in an Otome Game from the previous life of the reincarnated person.»
Huh, is that even possible?
«You see, there are countless parallel worlds. While the probability is extremely low, it’s not impossible…. Anyway, that god found this coincidence intriguing, so they set the theme of ‘What if I were to be reincarnated into the world of an Otome Game?’ and started broadcasting Isekai Reincarnation works.»
So, is that the beginning of “Reincarnation into an Otome Game”?
«Exactly. And that work became very popular among the gods. As a result, many follow-up works emerged. Numerous gods began creating works with the theme of ‘Reincarnation into an Otome Game.’»
Wow, were there really that many worlds resembling games?
«No, not exactly. The odds of an existing game world and the world they manage being extremely similar,… well, just as I said before, are very low. So the gods took various measures.»
For example?
«For instance, one god created a game identical to their own world and sent it into another world, having potential reincarnated candidates play it.»
Ehh… A god created a game?
«There was another god that created a world with a popular game in another world as the base.»
Wait! Hold on! What a waste of god-like mythical abilities! Creating an entire world just for broadcasting purposes?
«However, what’s being used in Lady Sara Salah’s case isn’t either of those methods. This world isn’t based on a game, nor is it likely that a game identical to this world existed.»
So then…?
«The soul of that reincarnated person that’s been imprinted into Lady Sara Salah’s body is “convinced” that this world is the world of an otome game. Their memories have been manipulated.»
Eh?
So, Omake-sama, you mean to say that… that soul has been tampered with in their mind, making them believe they were reincarnated into a non-existent game world?
«Exactly. Would you like a more detailed explanation of the specific method?»
Uh, yes.
«Many gods possess the future-seeing ability called ‘Fate Confirmation.’ Using that ability, they predict several possible futures for Lady Sara Salah. Then, they transcribe these predicted futures into the reincarnated person’s memories in the form of “routes” in the otome game. This creates a pseudo-situation similar to “Reincarnation into an Otome Game.”»
……………..
«The fact that she doesn’t remember anything about Emmy might be due to these circumstances. Presumably, you weren’t confirmed by the god’s ‘Fate Confirmation.’ Since you didn’t interact much with people until you arrived at the Baron Salah territory and mostly wandered alone, your causal connections couldn’t be read. And because the god couldn’t observe you, your existence wasn’t transcribed into the memories of the reincarnated person. That’s why she ‘doesn’t remember anything’ about you. That’s how this situation came about.»
……………..
You know… I thought about this during the Torch incident as well. But these reincarnated folks, their memories and everything, they’re just being tampered with however someone likes.
Seriously, they’re like ‘toys’ of the gods…
«In return, they often receive cheat abilities.»
Still… even so.
I’m glad I didn’t become a ‘toy’ and was able to be reincarnated with Omake-sama.
I truly feel that from the bottom of my heart.
Even if they get some cheat abilities.
In reality, they don’t realize about that situation themselves.
Even if in the end they have an enjoyable life.
I get the feeling that they are not… how should I put it… treated with any kind of respect by the gods.
There’s no trace of dignity as a human in them, not even the dignity as a particle.
They’re truly just “toys.” These reincarnated folks.
Ah… not just the reincarnated folks.
During the time when I was fighting against Topopolok and the others.
Apparently, something went wrong with that Moub guy, and he took Lady Sara as a hostage.
Baron Salah said so.
‘It seems someone was manipulating Moub from behind and influenced him to cause the incidents.’ Something like that.
That ‘someone manipulating from behind’ is undoubtedly a god, right?
That god completely ruined Mob’s life to advance their own scenario.
Apparently, he would have to spend many years in prison.
… I felt a chill.
However, that didn’t mean I pity the person who took over Sara-chan’s body.
◇ ◇ ◇
Before I knew it, Lady Sara Salah, the Baron’s daughter, was quietly breathing in her sleep.
Her mouth was slightly open, drooling… Despite being a beauty, she still occasionally had that goofy expression, just like the old Sara-chan.
Feeling a pang of sadness, I let out a sigh.
